AROMATHERAPY 

Aromatherapy is a holistic healing practice that uses natural plant extracts—usually in the form of essential oils—to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It’s often used alongside other therapies like massage, meditation, and energy work.

What Is Aromatherapy?

At its core, aromatherapy is based on the idea that aroma can influence the mind and body. Essential oils are absorbed either through the skin or the olfactory system (smell) to:

• Balance mood

• Reduce stress and anxiety

• Improve sleep

• Boost energy or focus

• Ease physical discomfort (like headaches, sore muscles, or digestive issues)

• Support the immune system
  
  

Common Essential Oils & Their Uses:

Lavender - Calming, sleep aid, stress relief

Peppermint -Headaches, digestion, energy boost

Eucalyptus - Respiratory support, decongestant, cleansing

Tea Tree - Antibacterial, skin care, immune support

Frankincense - Meditation, grounding, inflammation

Lemon - Uplifting, cleansing, focus

Rose - Heart-opening, emotional healing, skin support

Chamomile - Soothing, relaxation, calming for children

How to Use Aromatherapy

1. Diffusion (Inhalation)

• Use a diffuser to disperse oils into the air

• Add a few drops to a bowl of hot water and inhale the steam

• Apply to hands, rub together, and inhale
  
  

2. Topical Application (Always dilute with a carrier oil like jojoba, coconut, or almond)

• Massage into skin (neck, wrists, temples)

• Add to bathwater

• Use in lotions or skincare products
  
  

3. Compresses & Sprays

• Add to a warm compress for muscle pain

• Create room or linen sprays for relaxation or mood setting
  
  

⚠️ Note: Essential oils are very concentrated. Always research proper dilution ratios and avoid direct skin contact unless diluted. Some oils are not safe for kids, pets, or pregnant people. If you not sure please feel free to ask.
